On Saturday, April 14th 2012 - Nathan Ip and Aimee Steinke talked about the Alberta Association of Community Living Youth Forum as part of the AACL's 20th Annual Family Conference which took place on April 13th and 14th in Edmonton Alberta.

CACL has completed a research study on employment supports for people with intellectual disabilities. The study looks at effective policies and practices for transitioning from sheltered and enclave based employment services for people with intellectual disabilities to supports that enable inclusion in the labour market. The research study follows on a renewed international interest in what have been dubbed "employment first" or "employment focused" approaches marking the first major Canadian contribution to this dialogue.
